Hello,

Thank you. I've soldered chips into memory boards to upgrade RAM, but that was twenty years ago, and it took three attempts because I put the iron through the board near the end of the batch. I would have to get a better soldering iron for sure.

My membranes are in great shape as is the board. I was really frustrated with the grounding cords being so short and even inadvertently pulled on them a few times. (another WHEW!)

I've been looking but I can't find much info on how and which caps to replace. Are they basically all the orange ones mentioned in this photo? Is it as simple as heating them up, carefully removing them, and replacing them?

Thank you,
